13 million of Soundloud’s 25 million creators don’t get played even once a month.

“On SoundCloud we have content from over 25 million creators who are reaching audiences around the world,”  SoundCloud’s Kerry Trainor told a Midem forum. “Over 12 million of those creators get heard every month, which is in some ways to me the more powerful stat.”
